Iowa paying more than Longhorns to play Dan McCarney in football

[Harry]

Would the University of Iowa fork over more cash for a nonconference football game than would the biggest financial behemoth in college football?

Absolutely.

The Hawkeyes are paying North Texas $900,000 to compete in a 2015 football game at Kinnick Stadium, according to the game contract.

The Longhorns will write a check to the Mean Green for $875,000 for this season's Aug. 30 season-opener in Texas' Texas Memorial Stadium.

Of course ...

North Texas will bus to Austin, a four-hour ride from Denton — not including Texas Interstate 35's 24-hour traffic jam. So the $875,000 will seem like a lot more, considering there won't be an expensive chartered plane to rent.

And of course ...

The first guy off the Mean Green charter when it lands in Cedar Rapids on Sept. 25, 2015 will be coach Dan McCarney, who's probably not bringing a bunch of patsies into the stadium in which he once played and worked as an assistant coach.

Win or lose, McCarney's program receives a $900,000 check from Iowa.
